rotate the 4 pods every year and play a 7-1 format with ND playing 5 games.

never mind the fact that pods won't work for a CCG and the Big 10 and SEC are not going to change their mind on that for the ACC specifically

Of course pods can work in a CCG if the pods are combined to make divisions. You can rotate the pods within divisions so that everyone plays each other more often.

and here are the results of the "CBS look in" for the SEC after adding A&M and MU

http://www.foxsports.com/college-footbal...ver-092314

so even dual first named SEC nut swinging idiot clay travis had to admit that the SEC SEC SEC got ZERO ZERO ZERO new money from CBS CBS CBS for adding A&M and MU

the ONLY thing that the SEC SEC SEC got from CBS CBS CBS was CBS CBS CBS allowed the SEC SEC SEC to show another game or other games during the same period that CBS CBS CBS is showing the SEC SEC SEC game of the week

and the really idiotic thing about what dual first name idiot clay travis is saying is that CBS CBS CBS is paying for a SINGLE GAME each week and the CCG which is also a single game

so adding more teams to the conference really does NOTHING to bring more value to the CBS contract because CBS still gets a single game each week and that is the best game (in the opinion of CBS) so adding fair to middling teams like A&M and MU to a conference generally does NOTHING for CBS because those teams are generally NOT going to be in the "game of the week" and even if the are they are just taking the place of some other game that CBS would have shown that most likely would have drawn the same ratings

and with the OOC schedules that A&M and MU play it is not like either of them are going to "bring it" for CBS in any of the non conference games that might make the CBS game of the week

and there has never been any reported or factually reported proof that ESPN gave MORE MONEY for the EXISTING second tier deal they has with the SEC SEC SEC when A&M and MU were added


so based on the fact that the SEC SEC SEC got ZERO ZERO ZERO from CBS CBS CBS for adding A&M and MU and based on the lack of evidence that ESPN ever gave more money on EXISTING contracts for the SEC adding two teams I see no reason to believe that the ACC is due for any money on a "look in" and I have yet to see any really credible proof that they will be getting several million per team if they do not get a conference network in the next 14 to 16 months

and sure there is a SINGLE article out there that was repeated as factually accurate by others about more money, but as we can see from the above story with Slive talking about "look ins" and more money from ESPN AND CBS and then the resulting whining from dual first name dunces like clay travis when CBS gave ZERO new money......well conference commissioners, university presidents, "insider sources" and dual first named dolts will "report" or say a lot of things about money and look ins and deals and new deals, but that does not mean they actually ever happen

Could we get a few more "SEC"s in there just so we're 100% clear?

Add Cincinnati for Olympic sports, with Notre Dame type deal for 4 football games in October and November. Pay Cincinnati $6-8 million share for Olympic sports and all football media rights. Include some access to ACC bowls. This is 3-4 times more than Cincinnati currently gets from the AAC - and upgrades their football and Olympic sports schedules. Cincy balances out the ACC Olympic sports at 16 teams within the footprint.

Cincy's new independent football schedules work with a foundation of 4 ACC games in October and November and ACC bowl access. Bearcats can fill out the rest of the schedule with a couple of B1G or SEC opponents, frequent games with BYU, and a few MAC and other G5s.

Simply throw BYU a bone and line up 2-3 OOC football games in October or November each year, including occasional "neutral"-site NFL stadium games in or near the ACC footprint (DC, New Jersey, Charlotte, Atlanta, Jacksonville, etc.). May be a couple of OOC bball games each year to sweeten the pot.

Blocks the Big 12 and absolutely wins the PR battle. Perhaps creates inventory for ACC TV network.
